E4LLACIES OF STRIKERS.

Perhaps the most persistent fallacy INDUCED
by strikers consists in the belief or assumption
that they have lien upon the places which
they have thrown up This fallacy appears
conspicuously in the strange "appeal" issued
by the longshorcmcn on behalf OF the coal
handlers. In this curious document it is taken
for granted that the men who have struck can
20 back to work whenever they please, and that
their places will he kept open for them. Prob
ably some such dcluslOn is at the bottom Of
many strikes but how ii can survive the rude
shocks of actual experience it is difficult to
understand. As a matter Of fact in nine cases
out of ten in which unskillcd labor strikes, it
simply loses the opportunity to work for that
employer. In refusing to work save on their
own terms the men are within their rights but
when they have quit work their rights end, and
the rights of any others who may he willing to
do the abandoned work begin. 1t is not pos
sible for these strikers to compel any employer
to take them back There is plenty Of nom
union labor to he had for the asking, and that
fact settles the case, however reluctant the
strikers may I've 10 realize it.
1t is another fallacy Of these men that tho
public arc in full sympathy with them. That
can hardly be the case, seeing the injury and
loss they have inflicted upon the public. For
weeks now all business has been more or less
affected, and severe suffering has been cntacd
upon the poorest and most helpless element of
the community, through the blind obsinacy
Of men who refuse to see what every one else
has seen from the first, namely, the hopeless
ness of their posi- ion. They have i'll all this
time manifested the utmost Indifference to the
mischief they were doing and the harlship they
were inlctng upon the poor Of New ork
They have done their hest to extend that pri
Walton TO the whole community by producing
a coal famine in this great city. And now they
actually solicit money contributions from the
general public whom they have been rcrSecut-
ing and injurng, ami in so doing talk rs if they
really believed their whole course had been
cninenuy magnanimOus and philosophical.
and as if they were somehow entitled TO lie
supported in it by those whom it is mainly Iii
Icctcd against. This inability TO see things as
they really are is singular, but il is a leading
feature Of the whole strike movement. AL
the calculations of the men are evidently based
on purely fictitious assumptions, and the con-
sequence is that they pass from bunder TO
blunder until there is no longer possibility Of
scf-dcccption, and then they are very angry
with all the rest OF the world. This method Of
procedure makes their education unnecessarily
costly and disagrceable.

The taxpayers of New York will feel sadder
to-day than usual, for they will learn from THE
TRIBUNE's local news columns that all the
Aqueduct Commissioners save one favor build
ing the Quaker Bridge Dam. The cost of this
Job is now estimated at $12,OOO,OO0. But
did any one ever hear Of work like this, I'M
dertaken for New-York City, that did not cost
more than was expectedf What the Commits
siOners have to say in justification OF this vast
outlay will be received with attention. 1t will
require strong arguments to remove the prev
alent opinion that the big dam will be un-
necessary for years to come.
The friends of the canals made out strong
case yesterday before the Assembly Canal Com
mittee at Albany in favor of the bill appropri-
ating half q million to improve these water
ways of commerce. The strongest influence
against this measure heretofore has come from
the counties away from the canals, whose citi-
Gems have declared that they should not be
taxed for improvements that do not help them
It was shown yesterday that the canal counties
this year pay 80 per cent OF the State taxes, and
1t follows that the richer they are the better
for every taxpayer in New-YOrk. This is, OF
course, only a variation of the argument that
whatever Increases the general prosperity OF
the State helps the fortunes of every indivld-
uai citizen; but it puts the matter in particu-
larry Gear light.
Gambling on ocean steamships is once more
attracting public attention, owing to complaints
from some passengers on the Umbria on heI
last outward trip. 1t cannot be doubted that
this is an evil, nor that the companies could
remedy it, in great measure, if they chose. II
would not be necessary to stop all games on
shipboard nor even to Oibld card playing
Let the captains keep their eyes open and wher
they OF their subordinates see that the amuse
ment privileges are being abused, let them b.
stopped abruptly. Decent passengers would
sustain such action, and when the business ha(
been interrupted in this way on several trips
the line would be deserted by swinders fol-
more profitable fields. But of course if the
companies do not hold their captains to strict
account the evil will never be checked.
